Here I go

[Thunder Dan]

I bought a house a couple years ago. I have disliked it for the most part. I had been thinking about selling it and moving back into an apartment. But then I saw Without Bound and I started watching a lot of van dweller videos on YouTube. The seed was planted. Then my house was burgled twice in two months and everything I own with a significant dollar value was stolen. I took the insurance settlement and bought a 2002 Honda Odyssey with 237000 miles on it. Here is a little video of that:



The first thing I'll do after getting those seats out is to put a cot in it. I ordered the Byer of Maine Military Cot:

When it gets here I will sleep in it and tell you how it goes.

Sorry to hear about the burglaries.   Are you planning to sell the house still or?

Yes, I will sell the house once the van is ready and I have lived in it for a little while.
